L7: How does Govt education policy affect HR and L&D practice?

Hello!

I really hope someone can help. I need to answer the following question for my Level 7 qualification and I really don't know where to begin: In what ways and to what extent does government policy in the field of education affect HR and L&D practice in organisations?

I need to illustrate my answer with three current examples and I am really struggling. I literally have nothing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Emily

  • The focus of the curriculum - it has shifted to a knowledge based curriculum as opposed to equipping children and young people with the SKILLS needed to operate in the workplace of the future. Generally, schools do not teach the independent thinking to be resilient, be problem solvers, team players etc etc. You could also reference the supply chain of nursing for example, the decision to remove bursaries at Uni level has created a downturn in the number of entrants to the profession.

    If you google 'uk vocational education system' lots of potentially-relevant material will come up.

    Compared with European neighbours (notably eg Germany) the UK generally and UK Governments in particular IMHO have a most abysmal record in promoting vocational education: it's a cultural thing, not fully apparent to many within the UK unless they experience how very differently it's done elsewhere.
